a larger toll free calling area

northern part of Huron County

the Huron Federation of Agricul-

ported to a directors meeting
of the HFA in Clinton Thurs-
day night that attempts are being
made to get representatives from
Bell Canada, Maitland Teleser-
vices Ltd. and Wightman Tele-
phone Company together to see
just what costs would be incurr-.
ed in the larger toll-free areas.
Mr. Fortune said the
telephone committee had met
with Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.• for
Huron Bruce who had promised
to do anything he could to set
a meeting up and that John Cunn-
ingham from Bell Canada had
agreed to seek a meeting of the
three telephone companies in-
volved in the question.

hopeful," Mr. Fortune said. "At
least they're considering it."
Mr. Cunningham had earlier
told the OFA directors meeting
in Toronto that government re-
fusal to grant Bell the rate in-
creases it had applied for would
mean Bell could not afford in
increase calling areas.
In other business at the meet-

Students and teachers were
back at their desks in Brussels
Public School on Tuesday of last
week. No doubt there were
mothers who, after the long hol-
iday, were relieved to have their
youngsters out from under their
feet and under the jurisdiction
of competent teachers for a
greater part of the day.
While few would admit it, it
is a safe assumption that many of
the children were happy to go
back to school. Holidays are
great fun for awhile but they can
get boring when they last too
long.
Total enrollment at Brussels
Public School at the beginning
of the term is 275. This is

the end of June of this year.
